Running Away From Home: Chicago

When I returned home from Chicago last Monday, I had every intention to sit down and pound out a several hundred words on my running experiences in the Windy City. However, there was something preventing me from doing that: exhaustion. The physical and mental fatigue had less to do with all the miles I’d logged… Read More Running Away From Home: Chicago

Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle: 15 Seconds

Overall the race went well. In fact, it went very well. Going into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle Half Marathon this past Sunday, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I was leaving my comfort zone and embarking on a 2nd half marathon less than two months after my last one and my quick, 8-week… Read More Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle: 15 Seconds

Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle: Race Moments

When I run half marathons, I don’t listen to music. While I very much enjoy (and need) those beats, rhythms, and melodies during training runs, I prefer to avoid them on races day. Those mornings tend to be adrenaline-filled as it is, the last thing I need is a Public Enemy song inspiring my legs to take… Read More Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle: Race Moments

Running Away From Home: Portland, OR

As a transplant to the Pacific Northwest, I’ve come to appreciate all that this region has to offer: a mild climate, scenic beauty, and an abundance of clothing made of fleece. However, one of the drawbacks to this area is the absence of major cities within a reasonable driving distance. Unfortunately, living in the greater… Read More Running Away From Home: Portland, OR

Beating the Blerch: A Run for Cake

Like running races? Like high-fiving fluffy, fictional characters? Like cake? If you answered yes to any of the above then you would’ve enjoyed Beat the Blerch, a race I participated in this past Sunday. It is as unique a running experience as you could possibly have. The Seattle event, which actually took place in the small town… Read More Beating the Blerch: A Run for Cake

Vancouver: Five Recommendations

As a Pacific Northwesterner, I’m fortunate to live amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in the entire country. There’s hardly a day that goes by where I don’t end up face-to-face with snow-capped mountains or stunning views of one of the many waterways that grace this area. However, if I had one complaint about… Read More Vancouver: Five Recommendations

Running Away From Home: Vancouver, BC

Running has infiltrated my life to an alarming degree. A great deal of effort is put forth to schedule my weekly miles, even when I’m not training for a race. And when I don’t find the time to run I often feel as though I’m falling behind. Where as in the past I had to come up with… Read More Running Away From Home: Vancouver, BC

Six Days, Two 5Ks and an Injured Toe

For whatever reason, I seem to run races in bunches. I can go months without strapping on a timing tracker or bib number then suddenly I’m inundated with races. And apparently summer is the season when this phenomenon hits its peak. Last summer I managed to run four races on four consecutive weekends. While I… Read More Six Days, Two 5Ks and an Injured Toe

Five Keys to Crushing Your Half Marathon

If you’re like me, you enjoy doing well at stuff. Nothing feels as good as the satisfaction of a job well done. Things I enjoy doing well include, but are not limited to: bar trivia, parenting, Ms. Pac-Man, and running half marathons. When it comes to half marathons “doing well” is graded on a bit of… Read More Five Keys to Crushing Your Half Marathon

Running Away From Home: Denver, CO

In recent years, running has become one of my favorite things to do when traveling. Logging a few miles is a great way to see parts of a city you might otherwise overlook. When I’m on a trip with my family, it’s relatively easy to wake up early and get my run on. However, when… Read More Running Away From Home: Denver, CO
